Itenables the development of students’ engineering skills providing real-world applicability totheoretical engineering concepts. Despite the significant role of engineering in preparing studentsfor their future careers, educators have faced multiple challenges because of technologicaladvancements and societal developments [2]. Such challenges are related to being out-paced bynew advances of new

This need is reflected in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics(STEM) occupation growth which has increased 79% since 1990 and is projected to grow by10.8 percent by 2031 [1]. To meet these labor market demands, the United States hasconsistently invested over $500 million dollars in STEM education specifically since 2019 withan emphasis on programs that increase participation of

preferences and behaviors of students. Prior to the 1990’s, academic libraries weredesigned to maximize space for physical collections, a trend that changed with the introductionof digital collections. As more materials became available on-line, librarians began rethinkingthe use of their physical spaces to focus more on optimizing student learning experiences. As aresult, the shift in design occurred from individual study, book-centered library spaces to agroup-study learning environment [1].Generation Z (Gen Z) college students, those born from the late 1990’s to the early 2000’s,expect to have choices. When it comes to space, they want to have control of their choices [2].Controlling choices in the moment of need by the student is the definition

This self-motivated approach to learning preparesstudents for lifelong learning and is essential for success in their careers as engineers.

is that faculty willbe most active as teachers, not as forefront researchers. The latter is seen as a bonus, and thepossibility of working with a faculty member on research projects is particularly attractive tohighly motivated students, but the nature of these projects is also different from what a doctoralstudent can be expected to execute, and the likelihood of the work attracting funding iscorrespondingly diminished. As Hardin and Hodges (2006) observe, while Tier 1 engineeringprograms view research as a multi-year continuously funded enterprise, smaller schools view itas a largely summer-bounded effort.Because of these and other academic environmental factors, administrators and tenurecommittees evaluating the progress of a tenure track

Exploiting a Grading Option to Measure Mathematics Confidence of Engineering StudentsBackgroundIn the study [1], we investigated the impact of COVID-19 on Applied Mathematics (APMA) courses inour Engineering School. Our survey of students who took at least one APMA course during Spring 20,Fall 20, and Spring 21 found that they were more likely to choose credit/no-credit grading for APMAcourses than for their major-related courses. We hypothesized that students lacked confidence in theirAPMA skills and preferred to focus on the major courses. This suggests that COVID-19 has significantlyaffected student performance and perception of APMA courses. Further research is needed to understandthe underlying reasons for these

Students can take and re-take both learning modules andassessments as many times as it takes for them to understand the material.

andindustry. For example, while women earn 58% of undergraduate degrees across all disciplines,they account for only 24% of undergraduate students in engineering [1], [2]. Research suggeststhat this is partly due to women voluntarily choosing not to pursue an engineering educationbecause their main motivators (e.g., personal fulfillment, societal benefit) do not match theirperception of engineering careers [3], [4]. Consistent with these assertions, women earn an equalproportion of undergraduate degrees in certain engineering subfields that have an explicit goal ofimproving societal outcomes (e.g., biomedical engineering) [2].

Intraditional assessment systems, the process is predominantly controlled and managed by theinstructor [2]. Self-assessment is an alternative to traditional assessments and is commonly usedin higher education to incentivize students to metacognitive learning engagements [3].There are distinct differences between self-assessment and traditional assessments. Traditionalassessments normally are in the form of standardized test measurements of a learner at a point intime such as quizzes and classroom tests [4]. These can use lower order thinking skills of alearner that has a predetermined way of evaluating
